Emma Watson is an English actress who was born on 15 April 1990. In the 2010s she was ranked among the world's highest-paid actresses, and she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2015. As a child she rose to stardom after landing her first professional acting role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series, having previously acted only in school plays.
She made her first major move beyond the Potter films in Ballet Shoes in 2007 and lent her voice to The Tale of Despereaux in 2008. After the final Harry Potter film she took a supporting role in My Week with Marilyn in 2011, then starred in The Perks of Being a Wallflower in 2012. She also appeared in The Bling Ring in 2013 and Noah in 2014, and starred as Belle in Beauty and the Beast in 2017 and as Meg March in Little Women in 2019.
How Emma Watson makes her money
Harry Potter is the foundation of her wealth. She began as a child and played the same lead character across the whole film series, and as the films became some of the highest-grossing of all time her pay rose with each release.
Her biggest later payday was Beauty and the Beast in 2017, a global hit in which she played the lead, and she also had a major role in Greta Gerwig's Little Women.
Modelling and brand work add more. Her modelling work has included campaigns for Burberry and Lancôme, and she lent her name to a clothing line for the sustainable brand People Tree.
From 2020 to 2023 she sat on the board of directors of Kering, a luxury brand group, as an advocate for sustainable fashion. She also spent time on her education, graduating from Brown University in May 2014, which meant fewer film roles in those years.
